Psychobilly Tattoo and Body Art, a business locally owned and operated by "Big Ed", has raised over $850 by selling paracord bracelets for Unlimited Opportunities Inc.'s (UOI) Special Olympics fund. Big Ed purchased all the materials for the bracelets and he and his staff have been putting them together and selling them during the entire month of September mainly during the Festival of Lights on Thursday evenings. Big Ed said he has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of money raised. When he talked to UOI about doing the fundraiser he figured they might raise $400 dollars but now they have raised over $850. With the success of the fundraising Psychobilly Tattoo and the Boonville Daily News are teaming up to fight cancer in October, the Boonville Daily News will be having a month long Paint the Boonslick Pink Promotion and will be selling and promoting pink and white paracord bracelets with the help of the Psychobilly staff. Bracelets are $10 and other colors are available. Bracelets can be picked up starting today at the Boonville Daily News, 412 High St. or Psychobilly Tattoo located at 419 E. Spring St. The Boonville Daily News and Pschobilly will be giving 100% of the bracelet proceeds to local cancer groups in the Boonslick. The BDN will also be donating a portion of advertising revenue for the Paint the Town Pink Special Section publishing on October 24th. Read the Boonville Daily News for more information on cancer awareness and how we can all help those affected and research for the future.
